    Q&A: Peptides for Breastfeeding, Postpartum Weight Loss, Cancer History & How to Build Your Stack | Her Stack Series
    2026/06/05

    In this Q&A episode of the Her Stack Series, I'm answering the peptide questions you're asking me every single day in my DMs and comments:

    → Can I take peptides while breastfeeding?

    → What if I have a personal or family history of cancer?

    → Why won't my postpartum belly fat budge, even when I'm doing everything "right"?

    → Blends vs. single peptides, which is right for me?

    → How do I build my own peptide stack without ending up on eight injections a day?

    I'm unfiltered in this one. I share why there will never be clinical trials on peptides during breastfeeding (and what that really means for you when you're making the decision), the truth about growth hormone, IGF-1, and theoretical cancer risk, and my honest take on why most peptide advice from men completely misses the mark for women.

  • The Complete Maternal Mental Health Protocol: Peptides, Anxiety, Depression, Bioregulators and the Science of the Postpartum Brain | Her Stack Series

    The Complete Maternal Mental Health Protocol: Peptides, Anxiety, Depression, Bioregulators and the Science of the Postpartum Brain | Her Stack Series
    2026/05/28
    In this Her Stack series episode, I open up about maternal mental health, postpartum anxiety, and the invisible biological load mothers carry long after the six-week checkup is over. This episode is not just for the newly postpartum mother. It is for the mother whose kids are four, eight, fifteen, and still asking herself why she does not feel like herself. I share why motherhood structurally changes the brain, hormones, and nervous system, and why so many mothers are left feeling anxious, foggy, depleted, or unlike themselves without ever being properly screened or supported. I walk you through the science of the postpartum neurosteroid withdrawal, the gray matter changes that persist for years, and the five-system map underneath maternal brain fog. Then I break down the full four-pillar protocol I use with my one-to-one clients: foundational nutrition, lifestyle and biohacking tools, the supplement layer including some of the most under-discussed compounds for the maternal brain, and the advanced peptide layer including Semax, Selank, NAD+, and bioregulators.

  • Why Kids May Be Aging Faster Than They Should: C15:0, Nutrition Gaps, and Brain Health with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson of Fatty15

    Why Kids May Be Aging Faster Than They Should: C15:0, Nutrition Gaps, and Brain Health with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson of Fatty15
    2026/05/21

    Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, veterinary epidemiologist, public health scientist, and co-founder of Fatty15 (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), shares the latest science on C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid she describes as the first essential fatty acid to emerge in over 90 years.

    This conversation explores why C15 may be foundational for cellular resilience, metabolic health, liver health, brain development, and long-term vitality. Stephanie explains how low C15:0 levels may contribute to fragile cells, accelerated aging, and modern health issues, and why this nutrient matters not just for adults, but for pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies, and children.

    We also talk about food sources like full-fat dairy, cheese, butter, goat and sheep products, why grass-fed matters, how to test your C15:0 levels, and why supplement quality is becoming more important than ever.

    Join The LongHer Life for women-specific guidance on peptides, hormones, and longevity.

    WE TALK ABOUT:

    00:35 - What C15:0 is and why it's being called the first essential fatty acid in over 90 years

    02:55 - How low C15:0 may contribute to fragile cells and accelerated aging

    05:55 - The difference between omega-3s and C15:0 for cell flexibility and resilience

    07:20 - Why C15:0 matters during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infant development

    11:20 - The "longevity zone" for C15:0 and what higher levels may indicate

    15:10 - Why supplement testing and third-party verification matter

    18:30 - How C15:0 compares to other longevity molecules like NAD, metformin, and rapamycin

    23:35 - Why C15:0 needs to be consumed regularly through food or supplementation

    25:00 - Why vegans and dairy-free women may be at higher risk for low C15:0 levels

    26:50 - The best food sources of C15:0, including cheese, butter, and grass-fed dairy

    30:10 - Why Fatty15 created gummies for kids and families

    37:35 - What we know, and don't know yet, about C15:0 and children's brain health

    41:30 - Why the Navy patent may help protect supplement quality and trust

    44:30 - How kids are responding to the new Fatty15 gummies

    2026/05/14

    I share my full protocol for skin, hair, and nails, including the nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, skincare, peptides, and bioregulators I am using to support healthier aging.

    How I Got Into Peptides & Why Every Woman Should Know About Them
    2026/04/23

    I'm finally sharing my full peptide journey: how it started after weaning Callahan, why MOTS-c was my first, and the exact stack I'm using right now for energy, skin, and longevity.

    The peptide world is still so bro-dominated, and women are being left out of a conversation that could genuinely change how we move through fertility, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. In this episode, I'm breaking down why peptides aren't supplements, why cycling matters, and how your protocol should shift across every season of womanhood.

    I'm also opening up about postpartum anxiety, the tools I've built inside The LongHer Life (including the HerStack Planner and motherhood room), and giving you a first look at the high-potency peptide serum I'm formulating for women's skin.
